What's On Tonight (Sunday): A hip, hop, the hippie, the hippie, to the hip hip hop-a you don't stop the rock

A Grammy Salute to 50 Years of Hip Hop

Let it go! Here's what's on television for tonight, Sunday, December 10!

Our Top Pick tonight is A Grammy Salute to 50 Years of Hip Hop (CBS & Paramount+, 8:30 p.m.). The 2-hour concert event brings together many of the biggest names in hip hop history for a concert celebrating the genre, 50 years after DJ Kool Herc debuted his "merry-go-round" technique, often cited as the birth of hip hop. Performers include Black Thought, Common, Jermaine Dupri, Talib Kweli, the Lady of Rage, LL Cool J, Queen Latifah, Questlove, T.I., Too $hort, E-40, Big Daddy Kane, GloRilla, Three 6 Mafia, Cypress Hill, MC Lyte, Spinderella, and a DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince reunion.

Elsewhere, hip hop turns 50, kids are stressed about the Science Fair, the White House gets into Christmas, 60 Minutes goes to Wyoming, MasterChef Junior blesses us with a holiday special, Agatha Christie disappears, and Gilded people love opera.
